YESTERDAYS LESSON.

The new bill has been tried and has
been found wanting. The result at Brig
ham City yesterday was exactly what
was predicted by the DEMOCRAT and
precisely what was expected by every in
telligent person who knows anything about
the flexibility of the Mormon conscience
and the tenacity with which the leaders
hold on to political power. We would
ask in all candor of the apologists OF
Apostle Edmunds, who asserted that
''the bill was better than the Tucker
measure"-what do you think of it now? ?
How do you like the ticket elected-do
Messrs. Madsen. Horsley, Merrill, JAN
sen, Graehl and the other selections
made by President Taylor and named
by Apostle Snow suit you better than
Chase, Thoma and others of their
character, such as would haye
probably been appointed by the
"rebel guerilla" Caleb w. West?
How do you feel; you gentlemen who
used your influence to have the "danger-
GUS" appointive clause stricken from the
bill? What do you think OF your work ?
Is it not glorious and are you not proud of
the result? Of course you are. The end
has been attained. The Mormons still
hold the fort at Brigham City. Not a
Democrat will hold an Office in that de-
lightful municipality, and Lorenzo instead
of Caleb will continue to exercise the ap-
pointing power. Oh, no! ''The Mormons
won't take the OATH" They are not stout
enough. "They can't stultify themselves
by repudiating the principal tenet of their
religion" They didn't do it, did they,
and they won't continue doing it until
there is Republican President OF the
United States and Republican Gov
ernor of Utah, to appoint Republicans in
stead of Democrats to the Territorial,
county and municipal offices. That's
what's the matter. The political power
can never be wrested from the
Mormons under Democratic Admins
tration, SO long as Apostle Ed
munds controls Republican Senate.
The Democrats OF Utah should pray for
the election of a Republican President
or Democratic Senate. Perhaps it
would be better to petition the Most
High in favor of the latter proposition.

THE Congregational ministers of Chi
cago have refused to send message of
coincidence to Mrs. Beecher Resolutions
to that effect were offered in the weekly
meeting of the Congregational pastors.
A majority of the ministers, however,
differed from their brother who was even
then passing through the portals of death,
ON certain theological points, and there
fore the resolutions were voted down.
That sympathy due from the most
hardened sinner to the family of the dy-
ing, has been denied by ministers of the
Gospel. Chicago theology has taken
precedence of the religion of Christ.
That charity which covers multitude of
sins, must be dead issue among the
Congregational ministers of the great
city by the lake.

BEECHER.

Though a great preacher, Beecher' s
greatest fame will not come from his
services to the cause of Christ. 1t will
be for his intellectual power, pure and
simple, that he will be remembered.
When Interpretations speak the name
of Beecher, the utterance will call to
mind the brilliant and daring thinker,
and the gifted orator, rather
than a minister of the gospel.
Forty years ago Henry Ward Beecher
was light OF the Church. When he
was mortally stricken he was an in
tellectual torch. Those forty years
wrought a great change. While his
intellectual power increased with years,
his faith failed. The fervor and
ardor in the service of the meek
and lowly Nazarene which, in the outset
of his ministerial career, inspired his ser
mons and gave an almost irresistible
magnetism to his efforts, fall
tered, waned, and finally died
altogether, and Its place was occupied
by mental force alone. Skepticism ap-
peared and established an empire over
the great speaker which but grew stronger
with time, and when he passed away he
was more feared by the Christian than
he was by the unbeliever. The dark
gloom which enshrouded portion of his
life, when friends fell away from him,
and it seemed as though he must go down
before the storm, had hardening effect on
the man. His mind divorced itself yet
further from the trammels of modern
theology, and he spoke bolder words,
and thought perhaps, thoughts bolder
still. In his death one of the mighty of
the earth has passed away. He was an
intellectual giant, and as such his loss
will be felt wherever has been set the
impress of civilizations seal.

WHAT SHALL BE DONE?

The result of the election at Brigham
City Yesterday proves conclusively that
no loyal victory can be achieved in the
Territory, unless restrictions can be
placed upon the Mormons under the law,
besides the mere taking OF the test
oath. That they will take the oath,
at least in sufficient numbers to
carry the elections, is an assured fact.
The oath itself, then, amounts virtually
to no restriction at ALL 1t is claimed by
some that the registration officers have
the power to put such questions to appli-
cants as will demonstrate their
true feelings and conse quent intentions,
and that if the answers are
such as, indicate that the oath is not
taken in good faith, the officers have the
right to refuse to register 1t is also
claimed by some that the judges of cleo
ton have the right to put such ques-
.tions to persons offering to vote,
and themselves decide upon the
applicants qualifications. 1t is fur
thermore argued that the fact
of q person admitting that he is a mem
Der of the Mormon Church, which advo-
Gates, sustains and practices polygamy,
is sufficient cause for rejection by the
judges. If there is any legal method by
which the intention OF the law can be
carried out in this matter, it is to be
hoped that it will be adopted. The
DEMOCRAT has no desire to debar any
person from voting who takes the oath in
good faith, and who will afterwards act in
accordance with it. 1t does, however,
hope that all will be debarred who
take it with such mental reser-
walton as renders it practically
farce. For instance at the election at
Brigham yesterday, probably nine-tenths
of those who voted, would in half an hour
afterwards have secreted, furnished a horse
or done almost anything else to enable a
to escape from the officers of
the law. 1t is ridiculous to assert

BIsMARCK's war measure is receiving
the consideration of the new German
Reichstag. In spite of the Government
claim of a majority, the German legis-
lators are as yet developing no enthusias-
tic appreciation of the Septennate. From
present indications the deliberations of
the Reichstag will be characterized by
extreme caution, and the war bill may
yet meet that obdurate resistance which
brought dissolution to the last parlia-
ment.

IT is already reported that great
many people from all parts of the world
will visit Salt Lake during the coming
summer, to witness the Mormon juggling
in the test oath act. AS this extraordi-
nary performance is to be city feature,
it has been suggested that the stage OF
the Salt Lake Theatre be utilized and
that the moral acrobats confne their ex-
hibition to evenings, with an occasional
matinee. This would allow all to see
the show.

THE Republicans who are bowling
against Cleveland for not signing TIE
remnant of the Tucker bill, seem to
ignore the fact that he permitted it to
become a law, when it was in his power
to prevent it. If Apostle Edmunds had
let the bill alone after it came from the
House-pursuing in fact, the same course
as the President-the latter would have
something besides a miserable abortion
to sign.

RUSSIA is of the latest in demanding
the release of condemned Bulgarian in
sllrgents. Two of the men whose release
is thus demanded have already been
shot. Russia's demand could just as
easily have been made before the shoot
ing took place. 1t is evident that the
Car does not care for the lives of the
condemned men nearly SO much as he
does for the opportunity afforded him Of
picking quarrel with the Bulgarian Re-
gency. The fact that he desires to pick
this quarrel wears most ominous look.

The Sub Treasury has received instrJc-

begin the redemption of the trade dollar.
The work will probably begin at once,
and about 100000 of the dollars will be
handled daily. Any of our citizens hav-
ing this amount of trade dollars on hand
can therefore have them redeemed be-
tween the rising of the sun and the going
down thereof.

This would of itself require the expen-
diture of $14,472,0 900 a year without
counting any new pensions whatever.
That is twice the highest estimate made
in the Senate and three times that made
in the House, without including any of
the pensioners for which the bill was
directly intended. a
Here then are 17S,OOO men already on
the pension list, whose claims under the
law would amount to $14, ,472 900 a year.
1t is very moderate estimate that, in
cluding these, there would be at least
100000 pensioners affected by the bill,
involving in all an expenditure of not less
than SAC, ,44O,0O0 year.

THE PENSION VETO.

IL Can De SalQ OI IT0Slu6llI SIOfOlohO
that he exercised the veto power in the
matter of the Pension bill without partl-
san motive. No one who has read his
message can for moment question
the assertion. That he deliberately
ignored an opportunity for parti-
san advantage such as was never
before offered to any President of the
United States, a moments examination
of the provisions of the bill will show.
The pension business has been
used by both parties for political
purposes, and the most extravagant
and absurd allowances made by Con-
gress, but few members of either
party having the moral courage to
interfere in the adoption of a policy
which bid fair, if continued, to bankrupt
the Government, even if there should
never be another war, to add to the list of
pensions to be allowed under the prece-
dents established. Newspaper scribblers
and cranks have also availed themselves of
the opportunity to gain little cheap no
toriety by appeals to the patriotism of
inconsiderate persons who had never
taken the trouble to estimate the out
lay or consider the effect of these lavish
expenditures. The bill boiled down
amounted to this:
Parents who lost son in the war, who
1aff oh chon ha
entitled to a pension upon proof that
they are without other present means of
support than their own manual labor, or
the contributions of others not legally
bound fog their support. Rate of pen
sion, $12 per month.
Section 2 gives the pension to all who
served three months or more in the mill
tary or naval service of the United States
in any war in which the United States
has been engaged, and who have been
honorably discharged, and who are now,
or who may hereafter be, suffering from
mental or physical disability, not the re-
suit of their own vicious habits or gross
carelessness, which incapacitates them
for the performance of labor in such a
degree as to render them unable to earn
a support, and who are dependent upon
their daily labor for support, and they
shall, upon making due proof of the
same, be placed upon the pension rolls.
The gentleman who had charge of the
measure in the House differed radically
from the gentleman who had charge of it
in the Senate. Which was right and
whicn was wrong is matter of compara-
tive unimportance. Their difference of
judgment as to what the bill means shows
that the bill has no unmistakabie mean
ing.
If the bill is open, as, OF course, it is,
to the meaning put upon it in the Senate,
the estimate of its probable cost, as made
in the House, is worthless. That esti-
mate was less than $5,00O,00O per year.
But the President shows that under the
Senate Interpretation pensioners nnw re-
ceiving less than $l2 per month would
be entitled to that rate. These are as
follows:
